Sun Mote Copse The Fruit of the Womb Is a Reward

At first, she was sure that it was the brew that had unsettled her stomach so thoroughly. She wondered if this was a sign that she was unworthy. As her vomiting continued, however, she began to suspect a different possibility entirely. She had never before been pregnant, but she knew that many females would become very ill during their time. As days went by and she began to notice her body change, slowly and slightly, she began to accept the truth. 

She was not shunned, but blessed! She was not unworthy, but rewarded for her faith in the form of children. She had not yet told anyone, not Khalba, Arunik'ra nor Eshamun. She would, soon, she knew, but so far she kept the secret with her. It would be obvious before long, and she wouldn't wait that long to tell them...but she held it for a while as a secret between her and Molech, sacred and adored in her heart. If either asked her outright she would confirm their thoughts, but so far no one had.

The morning sickness continued to ravage her, and so she began to morning early, drinking and flushing her mouth in the stream. She was toying with the idea of telling her sister's or Ar-Khalba today, but did not have any stone-set plans.
